night, Minter Conrad, young fafm-
er residing seven miles from this
place, arrived in town on the hunt
of his sister, who had during the
day eloped with one John Jones for
the purpose of marrying him. Tele-
phone messages were sent to out to
several officials in the county to ar
rest the girl, as she is but IA years
old. Upon investigation it was shown
that the girl had been attending
school in her neighborhood, and that
yesterday afternoon young Jones,
accompanied by his father, rode up
to the school house, where the young
lady joined them, and all together
they were going hard for Ohio to
celebrate the marriage. In the morn
ing, however, Mr.. Conrad received a
message from Ellenboro informing
him that the giddy couple were in
that place and were going to Parkers-
burg, having already purchased
tickets for that point. Conrad i'm
mediately went to Ellenboro, where
he succeeded in inducing his sister
to return home with him, much to
the chagrin and disgust Of the young
man, who is but seventeen years old.
